It's 6:5PM here. About 6 hours behind you. You must be right on GMT.

I'm fine as I can be. My outlook is good and I'm going to be healthy again. Right now is the rough patch. I just have so little energy.

Taking care of myself and the cats eats up a whole day sometimes. Then I bounce back. Which is where I am right now.

Was this a class thing? Have you become "untouchable" because of your rejection of traditional norms.

To be snubbed so completely and then contacted out of the blue. Implies that she thinks her friendship is very high value.

Or that yours is of extremely low value.

You have written about your interactions with your family, how does that affect your interactions within that community. Do you even have a position in that community?

Would you consider yourself a global citizen now?
